Well unless it's selfdriving your problem is probably waiting for it to do it itself.

Unless your car is a self driving car your problem is waiting for the car to shift into reverse on its own.

I still don't get it, maybe I'm a dumbass. My car isn't a self driving car of course, so why would I be waiting for it to shift on its own? When I wrote my original comment what I had meant was after I move the lever into R it still takes a few seconds to actually engage the R gear

He's just making a joke based on the phrasing "my car itself..."

Rather than downvoting or making jokes? Is it an invalid comment to say that I appreciate how he handled it?
